Excellent stay lovely chilled out few days
Reviewed on 05/11/2023
Daisy glamping pod was amazing and just what we needed for a few days relaxing.
The pod has everything you need and more.
All fixtures and fittings are to a high standard, full kitchen with all appliances needed, lots of plug sockets and excellent WiFi (needed with 2 teenagers). Hot tub is a great addition. The fenced off garden meant the dog could be out safe in our knowledge he couldn’t escape.
The welcome pack is a lovely idea meaning you don’t need to worry about bringing the small things such as dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid.
The local town is a short drive away where to you can pick up anything extra needed.
There are several nice walks and visits to dam’s that can be reached which add to the magic of your stay.
Definitely will be returning.
